El trabajo comienza por plantear un diseño teórico de los procesos de toma de decisiones de los Estados en materia de política exterior, para luego adentrarse en el análisis teórico de la guerra como institución, sobre las ideas de Von…

Las siguientes páginas apuntan a marcar la incidencia de otros modos discursivos de la narrativa a partir de una dupla de narradoras que han producido un cierto impacto en la creación literaria de la última década del siglo XX. Estos…

The authors present the Measurement Information Model and the Measurement Process Model, as well as guidelines based on their experience in order to apply these models to specific projects.

This book provides an excellent foundation for the principles of database and data management. It explains some of the more difficult concepts fairly well. The book is meant for an introductory course in database management which is usually required as…

Designed for a one-year course on DSP, the book Digital Signal Processing, A Computer Based Approach aims to give seniors or first-year graduate students strong foundations of the analysis and design of discrete-time systems for digital signal processing. Anyway, is…

Options have been shown to be a key step in extending
reinforcement learning beyond low-level reactionary systems
to higher-level, planning systems. Most of the options
research involves hand-crafted options; there has been only very limited work in the automated discovery…

In this paper a slightly modification is proposed to the original Wong and Gotos ATA method for the computation of elementary functions in IEEE 754 single precision. The identification of a trade-off leads to the proposition of a different chunk…

This thesis describes the design and implementation of a mobile robot which is able to perform a structural interpretation of indoor environments, using only visual and proprioceptive sensory information. The desired behaviour is real-time navigation based on this interpretation, instead…

This paper presents the Adesso, a computational environment for the development of scientific software. The Adesso environment leverages the reusable software component programming model to support the development and integration of components to several scientific programming platforms. The Adesso system…

Object-oriented software development has proven effective for systems development, but the creation of reusable and changeable software architectures is still a challenging task. Design patterns capture the expertise for reusable design solutions, but there is no methodical approach to providing…
